The read
I’m backing the Cubs on the moneyline because they’re the steadier club and Pittsburgh’s thin lineup won’t cash enough of the few chances they get—have the guts to ride with me. Taillon’s 1.11 WHIP keeps traffic light, which plays right into a Pirates order that chases as Bryan Reynolds is already at 166 strikeouts. Chicago brings real thump as Dansby Swanson has 22 homers, and Ian Happ’s 82 walks show the patience to extend innings. Yes, Braxton Ashcraft’s 2.47 ERA is a real threat, but Carson Kelly’s 43 walks tell you Chicago can make him labor rather than cruise.
